My spidey sense tingled a bit when I read this.
Just wondering if anyone else gets it when they read this article. It's about the woman who was killed at Yale last week. One particular paragraph got my spidey sense going. Here's the article and I'll post the paragraph way down in case you want to read the article before identifying the paragraph.

Anyone else get anything?

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5j3Z7m0uROG-_CM8GzpRCqE2M9IbwD9ANPM3G0






































Paragraphs (multiple for background info):

The building where the body was found is part of the university medical school complex about a mile from Yale's main campus. It is accessible to Yale personnel with identification cards. Some 75 video surveillance cameras monitor all doorways.

Her body was found in the basement in the wall chase — a deep recess where utilities and cables run between floors. The basement houses rodents, mostly mice, used for scientific testing by multiple Yale researchers, Alpern said.

Le was part of a research team headed by her faculty adviser, Anton Bennett. According to its Web site, the Bennett Laboratory was involved in enzyme research that could have implications in cancer, diabetes and muscular dystrophy. Bennett declined to comment Monday on the lab or Le's involvement with it.

Le's office was on the third floor of the five-story building, where authorities found her wallet, keys, money and purse.

1. I have been barely following this story..
BUT
the thing that makes me feel very strange is the nature of the lab and the type of research... i also heard stem cells were involved.

has there been ANY reporting on whether anything was found missing or files stolen? I am wondering if the girl either found someone doing something they shouldn't be...or whether she was selling information or - god forbid - actual stem cells to some kind of loony.

I know it sounds like my tinfoil is on too tight, and I haven't been following the details very much, but it doesn't seem to be so cut & dried as a lover's quarrel
...and I am SOOOO not surprised when our reality is beginning to look more & more like a bad movie/tv show plot...scientific epsionage and all...

so that's what I pick up on when i hear about this story...is that what you are reading too?

2. Or maybe she found a cure for something.
There's a lot of money involved in these diseases. I've often wondered if we'd ever be told if they found a cure for some of the diseases that bring in a lot of money.

3. Christ...that's even scarier, and I can;t believe I didn;t think of it!
....so of health and certain things were NON-PROFIT in all ways...would this even be a problem?

i guess if it was non profit to help people, it would cease to exist at all :banghead:

5. Think of the karma involved.
And know that:

-Motown was said, in the old days, to sign artists most like the ones already on Motown's roster...then shelve them, just to remove competition. This is unsubstantiated, but I have met folks who worked there.
-Ford Motors hid a defective component in a vehicle, having concluded that the cost of paying off the families of their victims would be less expensive than hosting a recall/rebuild. The memo/papers were leaked, and should be easy to Google.
-See the film "Making a Killing" regarding abuses by big pharma in the mental health field. There is an astonishing amount of money trading hands.
-well, you don't want for me to go on. Suffice to say, whatever the truth regarding this poor woman, there is astonishing treachery every day. Ah, for the day when such things stand as anathema!

4. Yes, the type of research is what caused my spidey sense to tingle.
This is the first news report that I've seen that had as much detail. I just got the sense when I read this that someone didn't want the research continued.

6. Arent there a huge amount of microbiologists and pathologists
all dead now? Could this be related?
I think there is a list of names of over a hundred all dead/suicided/murdered now.
Would she fit into that catagory?

12. Lots of them dead:
http://www.christianmediadaily.com/microb.htm

Some other sites list at least 100.


Apparently it has happened before in the past:

In the 1980’s over two dozen science graduates and experts working for Marconi or Plessey Defence Systems died in mysterious circumstances, most appearing to be ‘suicides.’ The MOD denied these scientists had been involved in classified Star Wars Projects and that the deaths were in any way connected. Judge for yourself...

15. That was my first thought--so many in those fields "suicided." Very likely Le's death
is in that category.

7. we'll see
So far the facts seem to make it more of a crime of passion. It is not at all a well thought out plan to kill someone in a secure building with access only by card, and then stuff her away. All that with videos outside. Apparently there is just a ton of evidence. I mean, seriously, the person will be caught, I believe. Already they are saying she was targeted. But why? It must have been something SUDDEN.

I would guess that her mind was pretty focused on the wedding and it wouldn't be like her to confront someone suddenly with something that she learned.

But the authorities kept saying her fiance was cooperating. He may have told them that she felt weird vibes from someone in the lab. I have a feeling that he suspects someone. They talked all the time.

Now, the motive, I have no idea.

I've been thinking about this a lot. We really need to drive out all the demons from possessed people. That's what I thought about. If they aren't up to no good in labs, they are off killing brilliant people in the prime of their lives. Another thing I thought about was someone my daughter knew from high school that went to Yale. He was a completely creepy person, and prone to getting very possessive, obsessive and the like. My daughter was scared of him. I mean, I don't think that makes him a suspect, but there can be nutty people anywhere!!!

Edit to add: I see others were picking up on that as well.

9. No real spidey sense, though the murder itself is very disturbing.
My first thought in hearing about this was that it was done out of jealousy. No Skull and Bones or other conspiracy. I'm not the least psychic though.

10. my feeling all along is that it was a nut with a psycho crush on her
who "loved" her in an "if I can't have you, nobody can" kind of way. Whoever killed her had keycard access to the building. That kind of facility is very, very secure. And he killed her the day before she was to get married.

14. i feel that as well, but i also feel "a push"...
seems like a crime of passion, but seems like external targeting over her research found a useful patsy along the way. wholly untraceable now, but fits an overall strategy lately by the darkness. too bad for them even this long term ace-in-the-hole has no effect. oh, and swine flu was a failure as well.

still a tragedy for this promising woman, though.

16. I agree with those who see this
as a crime of passion.

Why kill just her if someone wanted to shut down enzyme research, etc? She was just a graduate student.

17. Right .
the suspicious deaths are rarely investigated thoroughly. There was a biochemist found dead in his car last year and it was immediately ruled a "suicide". They don't pursue the evidence as they are doing in this case.

18. ok now it's getting creepy...but not in the way anyone mentioned
Edited on Wed Sep-16-09 11:07 AM by northernlights
The animal research part creeps me out personally, but the fact is it's done everywhere.

HOWEVER, now they're reporting that the "person of suspician's" apartment smelled of animals. And neighbors saw him (with his fiancee) loading cats and rodents into his car last Saturday.

Pets are sometimes stolen and illegally sold into animal research. :( I wonder if Le stumbled onto an animal theft ring...

19. They are saying that guy
was "unsociable" and another student at the lab had reported him to his supervisor for being such a brute. “very officious and very demanding”
